Finished just behind Angel's Wish when sixth here over 1m4f (handicap) in December; has shown some recent improvement; running in a handicap for only the second time; needs to be respected if excused most recent run as achieved maiden plate success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

Split a number of these rivals over 1m4f here (handicap) when beaten just over 4l in fifth last month; has to prove this longer trip is what he wants and there are better alternatives here.

Got the job done by just over 2l over 1m2f here (handicap) opening her account last Thursday; interesting as has won off this mark.

Finished just behind Ideal Future when sixth over 1m1f here (handicap) last month; not always shown an awful lot since winning a handicap at Vaal last May; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Was tailed off here over 1m1f (maiden plate) 14 days ago; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 13 and hasn't shown much recently; steps into the unknown over new trip and looks risky.

Verdict
Coffeeberry needs to be considered while Nuclear Force looks an obvious danger to the tip. But PANNING GOLD is the recommendation. He is bidding for his second course success.
